This page was chosen due to an interest in sea-level changes that have been a consequence of climate change. It was also chosen because it meets the requirements of evaluation for internet sources.  The people in charge of this site (sources) can be located in the “about us” section tab, which lists various scientists and post-doctorates along with their qualifications and email addresses (as a means to contact them). Accuracy is also taken into account with this website, as there are several resources at the bottom of the article listed, all of which are peer-reviewed sources. The site also links to several publications that it is affiliated with, and which represent peer-reviewed journal sources. Statistical data is presented clearly, with graphs and charts, and citations are used throughout the article to give credit to the original source of information. The page is relatively current, with updated news on climate news dating back to September 1, 2011, discussing “black carbon control as a climate quick-fix”. The site is objective; there are no ads or inflammatory language. Facts are presented with scientific evidence from peer-reviewed sources. In regards to coverage, the page is not under construction, and seems to be fully functioning in all facets. The primary purpose of this page is given under its “mission” tab, and is to provide objective and comprehensive information on climate change and its consequences.
